A good place to look I think is to compare the dimensions of the ATS coupe (its longer and wider but lower then the ATS sedan) to the Camaro. I wonder if it is going to be slightly longer then the ATS coupe but similar width and height, though I think some would suggest that the 6th Generation Camaro will be a 5th generation Camaro grafted onto an ATS coupe.
ATS coupe is
Length: 183.6 inches
Width: 72.5 inches
Height: 54.8 inches
wheelbase: 109.3 inches
weight: 3,418 pounds (2.0T no options)
2LS 2014 Camaro (no options lightest spec)
Length: 190.6 inches
Width: 75.5 inches
Height: 54.2 inches
wheelbase: 112.3 inches
weight: 3,702 pounds
My predictions 2.0T manual no options
Length: 185 inches
Width: 74 inches
Height: 53.5 inches
wheelbase: 110 inches
weight: 3,550 pounds
Actually I think it would make for an interesting design if they went with the Cadillac CTS 114 inch range wheelbase for the 6th generation Camaro and an overall shorter length (185 inches). this will give the car shorter over hangs front and rear. That would be essentially taking the current car and moving the wheels out a combined 7 inches. I think if they did something that extreme they could in concept place the engines completely behind the front axle (depends on if 2 extra inches would be enough to pull it off). Then they can low the engine in the engine bay further dropping the center of gravity and moving weight further back. This would give it geometry closer to a sports car.
